Thanks to LLabTooFer for this impressive ROM.
A little more help is required to get this installed on my HTC One M7.
At present I have RevolutionHD installed on the HTC One M7 it is rooted and unlocked via HTCDev.
I have downloaded the MaximusHD ROM copied it over to my SD card and installed it via recovery>install zip from sd card etc. USB Debugging is enabled. Install goes ahead and finishes with a fresh new 4.3 update.
Here's the but, MaximusHD is provided as rooted but after my install I lose root. If I use Root Checker from PlayStore it tells me that I have no root access and that it is against Google policy. This message appears in a band at the top of Root Chacker display.
If I now go back to RevolutionHD, (good job I backed up) root access is granted and shows via Root Checker.
Go to chain fires website and download the root zip. Flash it and you'll have root

As I have no access to the development forum I have to start a new thread here.
Trying to root the device using "Rooting with HTC Desire X All-In-One Toolkit V1.1" did not really work for me.
Problems with CWM:
1. Backup can be completed. But when trying to restore it, there will be a MD5 error.
2. Screen is corrupted.
Problems with SuperSU:
3. When started, SuperSU says it needs to update the SU-Binary. But this update fails.
4. Trying to delete some system apps using Titanium Backup or Root Explorer seems to work, first. But after reboot all changes are gone.
So the device only looks rooted, but it is not.
MD5 error is actually a known bug in the build. You can disable that.
Have you tried backing up, wiping and install my stock deodexed ROM to see if that works?

I'm also experiring random reboots (once in 2-3 days). I'm not sure if rooting is the reason..

One random reboot? It shouldnt be from rooting. All root is 1. the SuperSU app. 2. the Root binary. that should have no effect at all.

Yes, I also tried this ROM. It behaves in exactly the same way as if I install SuperSU myself.
One small problem
After rooting my Desire x I cant install regular update because it´s opened with different flash manager which says this is an untrusted package.
When I press Yes (Install untrusted package) it starts and after like 5 seconds it aborts and jumps back to recovery mode.
Hi All. I tried to rrot my HTC Butterfly(X920d). Everything went well from unlocking bootloader to installing recovery and SU. But when I installed Root Checker it says "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access.". Is that it and it did fail to root?

sounds like you didnt correctly install superuser
Do I just re-try the process?
Edit: It says Successful in Bootlaoder. Is it possible that Butterfly(X920d) is still unrootable?
did you try any other apps that require root access ?
why fix it if it ain't broken ?
I think it worked. I just re-installed SU. Now I'm trying to find out how I can make my htc Butterfly read Internal and external storage the other way around.
Edit: Now it says root failed again. WTH???!!!

Get it a try it is faster than stock rooted one
And thats why I just wiped the whole damn thing and installed Virtuous ROM ... very v happy i did that
hi guys, do you know a guide for rooting htc butterfly x920d?
Unlock the normal htcdev way and install twrp recovery from here -
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/142
Use any supersu zip to root it ... Note that the stock Rom doesn't like to stay rooted and gives trouble after some time , so better install custom Rom instead like virtuous
If you need a noob guide look in the android development forum for sticky

I think this is what I'm experiencing. I thought I was rooted, then it wasn't. Then no looks like I am again. Also I'm having a problem I think with the recovery. When I try to go to recovery to access SU the screen goes nuts and shows multiple colors in lines. Does anyone know if a factory reset will solve this?
A couple of weeks ago I successfully rooted my Galaxy S3 using the toolkit - everything including superSU worked fine and dandy.
Because of problems with the device freezing I downloaded the latest update to 4.1.2 using KIES - this of course took away root access.
I uninstalled all the various root apps I had installed and used the phone for a few days to make sure the problem was solved
Today I re-rooted using the toolkit in the same way - all went fine and the phone was rooted and I reinstalled rooted apps like ROM Toolbox Pro that I had already paid for.
When I loaded root apps I got the superSU prompts to allow them which all worked ok. However when I went into SuperSU itself it tried to update the binary and failed each time. Chainfire let me have the latest update which I installed with Mobile ODIN - after that it still worked but the problem of failing to update binary still occured.
I then tried installing the same zip file in recovery using TWRP seemed to work ok BUT now I have the "No SU Binary installed and cant install - this is a problem". I tried again after a fresh install of the latest UPDATE SuperSU v1.10 from here - but still the same and now no rooted apps will run. Super User cant be uninstalled as Play reports that it is installed!I
can fathom a few possible options:-
1) Can I just install SuperUser (chains DD) from the Play store - will this work in place of SuperSU or is it just going to make it worse
2) Can I just re-run the Root Option in the toolkit again in the hopes that it will at least give me superuser rights even if I can actually updated SuperSU (as I had before) or do I need to unroot before rooting again
3) If I could find the download I could use CF-Root via desktop ODIN but I do want TWRP installed for ROM Toolbox to work at its best
Suggestions on these or other solutions welcomed - the phone is still working fine just no root access!
Try flashing cf auto root with Odin.

Cant update SuperSu v1.10
Im having the same problem! I tried using Superuser to update the binary and it did it successfully but when i try to open the app the problem's still there(I attatched a screenshot)! I was running the free v1.04 of this app and I liked it so much that a few days ago I decided to buy the Pro Version 1.05 through Google Play! Everything was working great than the next day I got a notice saying there was an update to this app (v1.10), so I install it and now it tells me to update the binary but when I choose to update, it gives me an error and restarts my phone ! I attached a screenshot of the error right before it crashes!!! I'm running a rooted HTC one S, with stock ROM (Jelly Bean 4.1.1) and custom recovery (ClockWorkMod), I have enough memory in my entire system!! I hope they fix this soon, I email the developer . If i get an answer i will post back the results here!!

Thanks
I just installed CF-Root using ODIN and my rooted apps can now access again BUT when I open SuperSU I am still getting the message to update the binary and the update then fails. The first time it failed it left SuperSU open and apparently functioning, not sure it registered the fact that I have paid for the pro version, though Google Play reports the pro update is installed and wont let me uninstall/re-install. If I cancel the option to update the binary the app just closes now. (odd that it didn't the first time)
So I am still where I started in that it will not update the binary and I am certainly not going to flash the update.superSU V1.10.zip file again because the first time I did that it made no difference and the second time it lost the binary file altogether. I imagine more S3 owners are going to come across this so I will sit tight with what I have and hope that Chainfire can get it working again
I downloaded the md5 file for TWRP and installed that with Mobile Odin so now I have TWRP back as well - still cant open supers but it is doing its job in the background which is the main thing for now
It doesn't seem to be a GS3 related problem. I have a HTC One S, yesterday I updated SuperSU to v1.10 and the app also asked me to update the binaries (as with any update). As you can imagine binaries installation failed.
I have tried to uninstall updates (via app manager) but it doesn't help because su has been deleted. I will have to root again and wait until SuperSU is fixed before updating.

Rebooted an done, I double checked by clicking on the SuperSu app and now no more binary update warning and in the settings it says SuperSu Pro v1.10!!! Awesome, here's the link to the download :

So I had this specific problem and got an error when trying to flash the new update. Apparently I had changed something in the system and didn't know it.
These are the steps I used to get JB on my phone, and get root back after I lost it. Hopefully this will help someone out.
Step1: First of all, you will need to use the droid razr utility to go back to ICS.
You can get this tool at http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/11872-droid-razr-utility-190-windows-mac-linux-all-in-one/
IMPORTANT. Make sure you install moto drivers, and rsd lite before running the utility. Both included..
Make sure phone has usb debugging mode enabled.
Make sure when plugging phone into computer you disable mass storage mode.
Step2: Once on ICS use the utility to also root again.
Step3: Once rooted, install voodoo and create a root backup.
Step4a: Put this file on your external SD card.
Droid life actually has the whole new file. So no need to flash xmas leak.
You can get it here - http://www.mediafire.com/?5ca5825kzojfv49
Step4b: Boot into recovery and install from sd. Choose the above linked file. Let it do its thing.
Enjoy.
Just a warning, after doing this even though the utility indicated root was done, and after JB installed voodoo was showing root but when trying to update the SU app it said FAIL when trying to gain root access.
Luckily root can be gained in JB using this exploit: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/6935-rootwindows-razr-blade-droid-razr-41-jb-root-exploit/

I have been trying to root my HTC EVO 4G LTE for days now without any luck. I have an unlocked bootloader. That was pretty easy. I originally tried the "Kingo Android Root" which unlocked the bootloader and claimed that it had rooted my phone. However, I did not have superuser privileges. I re-ran the "Kingo Anroid Root" several times. Each time it said I was rooted, yet every time I checked I was not. So, I came to the conclusion that the EVO 4G LTE was incompatible with the "Kingo" method.
So, I moved on to methods more specific to the EVO 4G LTE. I tried WinDroid, which flashed TWRP recovery and I then booted to that. However, when I installed superuser.zip, it said successful even though rebooting my phone once again left me without superuser privileges. I retried flashing superuser.zip multiple times, yet each time it failed to give me superuser access. It was around this time I noticed that while my bootloader reads "Tampered" and "Unlocked", I still have S-ON rather than S-OFF. Could this be preventing superuser.zip from giving me superuser access? I tried rumrunner to get S-OFF but that failed halfway through. Yes, I have installed both HTC and ADB drivers.
Honestly, this has just been a nightmare. I thought it would be a simple and relatively painless process, but it has become a multiple day affair that is consuming way too much of my time. I am about to either just pay someone to do this for me or give up entirely. So, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hit up the link below and download the latest version of SuperSU, then flash in recovery. As far as the tampered warning in the bootloader, that's normal when you've unlocked the bootloader. As far as S-off goes, post your Hboot and radio (firmware) version, as that will determine which method you need to use to gain S-off.

Also make sure that you have your superuser rights set to "ask" in the SuperSU app.
Well, I downloaded the new SuperSU.zip you posted and I rebooted to recovery. I installed it and TWRP said the install was successful. I then chose to reboot system. By the way, I don't think I mentioned this in my OP, but after the "Success Screen" and choosing to reboot I am prompted with a screen that says "No OS installed! Are you sure you want to reboot?" to which I say yes and then continue to another screen that asks if I want to "Install SuperSU. This will root your device." I swipe yes to tell it to install SuperSU even though I just installed it. Then, it kind of just sits there until rebooting normally. Just letting you know in case this changes anything. Should I try it again and choose to not install the second SuperSU? Could it be overwriting the updated one I flashed a few seconds prior?
Anyways, as you can probably guess by the nature of my disorganized post's first paragraph, the updated SuperSU did not root the phone as there is still no sign of the SuperSU app, nor any indication that I am rooted such as being able to delete the annoying bloatware installed. Any other suggestions?
Oh, and for the information you need for the S-ON problem:

Okay, but I don't currently see the SuperSU app. Isn't that supposed to come from the root or do you have to download that off the play store? I assume this post was for if updated SuperSU zip file worked.
Install the SuperSU app from the Play store, then check the permissions I previously mentioned. Also, the Rumrunner method should work fine but you can also try the Firewater method. Try Rumrunner a few times first, though.
Installing the SuperSU app off the play store and then running it only gives me a prompt that says, "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Install the SuperSU zip in recovery again. Then reboot.

Okay, I tried it again, but it isn't installing. I flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-2.02.zip file and then reboot. Then I go to the SuperSU app that I got off the Play store and it still brings up the same prompt followed by the app closing. Any ideas why the SuperSU.zip won't flash in TWRP?

Try an older version like 1.94.
Okay, I tried the 1.94 version. Same result as all the other versions of SuperSU I have tried.
I did notice something odd that somehow slipped past me. I copied the zip file to my root directory on my PC, yet when I launch into TWRP I find the file in the "/data" directory. Could this be the problem? That the zip files aren't in the root when in TWRP? Anyway, can I move the files up a level while in recovery? Because the files are in the root directory of my phone when I copy them on my PC. They aren't in the "data" folder...
Not sure what to tell you at this point. The location of the zip file shouldn't matter, though. Putting it on the root of your internal or external storage makes it easier to flash when it comes time to install, but it can be flashed even if it's in a folder somewhere. I'd suggest making sure that you have the latest version of TWRP on your phone (2.7.1.0) and starting over with a clean install of a rooted ROM, like MeanBean, since it is fairly easy to install while still being S-on. Link can be found below:

I was having a similar issue to this a week ago. What is TWRP showing when you flash the file?
